Obama Admin Fights Missing White House Email Lawsuit

DesScorp writes "The AP reports that the Obama administration has picked up where the Bush administration left off on the missing White House email issue by trying to have a lawsuit dismissed that would have kept investigating whether or not email was still missing. Two advocacy groups suing the Executive Office of the President expressed disappointment with the Obama administration's actions. Tom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, noted that President Barack Obama on his first full day in office called for greater transparency in government. The Justice Department 'apparently never got the message' from Obama, Blanton said."

    Be serious, they haven't come to grips that the "Savior" is just a Chicago politician, with all the corruption that is part of that phrase.

    Until everyone in Washington is replaced in 3 election cycles (for the whole Senate) there will be no change. Try replacing them with someone who has actually done productive work, not lawyers.

    Believe everything in a book? No. But, how about the newspapers? In the days immediately after the World Trade Center collapsed - how many planes were in the skies, departing America? And, who was aboard that plane? The Bush and Saud families are indeed much to cozy, and questions beg to be asked.

    You want to know why folks voted for Obama? Two words: Caribou Barbie. MCSame was an idiot for picking Caribou Barbie as his running mate. He is old, has already had cancer once already, and frankly the thought of Caribou barbie in the big chair scared the hell out of a lot of folks. My dad owns a SMB and for the first time voted Green Party. Why? Because he didn't like NObama but couldn't stomach the thought of Caribou Barbie in the big chair.

    Not that I honestly thinks it matter much anymore, because short of a revolution things aren't going to get any better. The laws and politicians are by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists. See the Sonny Bono extension act as one of thousands of examples of laws written by lobbyists(in this case Disney) and the bribes...I mean donations aren't even done in the back room anymore, but out in the open. So all those that complain about "Obama VS McCain" are missing the big picture: BOTH are whores, the only difference is who gets first choice when fucking the country. With the Repubs it is big business and defense, and with Dems it is Hollywood and labor. Frankly BOTH completely suck and are a waste of your time voting for them.
